Indiana Pacers fans will be seeing a lot more air guitar strumming this season after the team announced this morning that they are resigning Lance Stephenson to a second and final standard 10-day contract with the team. <\/p>\n
Stephenson\u2019s initial 10-day, which he signed on January 11, expired this morning, prompting the organization to use Stephenson\u2019s final 10-day before being faced with the decision of signing him for the remainder of the season or letting him walk. <\/p>\n
Like numerous other former NBA veterans looking to get back into the League, Stephenson has signed multiple 10-days \u2013 becoming the first player to sign a fourth 10 day- first signing with the Atlanta Hawks. After appearing in six games for the Hawks, Born Ready then signed his first of three 10-days with the Pacers on the first of the new year. <\/p>\n
Typically, a player is restricted in signing more than two 10-day contracts with a single team. However, due to the COVID-19-related hardship exemption, that restriction only applies to standard-10-day agreements. Stephenson is now on his second such deal. <\/p>\n
In 11 games played for the team that originally drafted him back in 2010, Stephenson averages 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field in 19.5 minutes a game. <\/p>\n
